For the millions of Americans who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, peaceful, restorative sleep can feel out of reach. Characterized by interrupted breathing, loud snoring, and chronic fatigue, sleep apnea is more than a nightly nuisance—it’s a serious health condition that can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and more. Fortunately, Brookwood Dentistry is stepping forward with a groundbreaking approach to Sleep Apnea Treatment that is transforming the way patients sleep and live.
With the increasing demand for alternatives to CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines, Brookwood Dentistry offers hope in the form of non-invasive, dentist-supervised oral appliance therapy. These custom-fitted devices, worn comfortably during sleep, gently reposition the jaw and tongue to prevent airway obstruction—allowing patients to breathe easier and sleep soundly.
Understanding the Sleep Apnea Crisis
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the soft tissues in the throat collapse during sleep, temporarily blocking the airway. These pauses in breathing can happen dozens or even hundreds of times per night, reducing oxygen flow and fragmenting sleep. The consequences are far-reaching:
•Daytime exhaustion
• Memory problems
• Mood disturbances
• Increased risk of chronic diseases
“Many patients come to us without even realizing their dental health is connected to their sleep problems,” at Brookwood Dentistry. “They’re surprised to learn that the mouth can hold the key to better breathing.”
The Dental Connection: Innovative Sleep Apnea Treatment
While CPAP machines are commonly prescribed for sleep apnea, studies show that nearly 50% of patients discontinue use due to discomfort, noise, and inconvenience. Brookwood Dentistry offers an effective, less intrusive solution through oral appliance therapy (OAT)—a method now widely recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for patients with mild to moderate OSA or CPAP intolerance.
These custom-crafted oral devices resemble a mouthguard or retainer and work by slightly repositioning the lower jaw to keep the airway open during sleep. Brookwood Dentistry uses advanced imaging technology and digital impressions to ensure each device is perfectly tailored to the patient’s anatomy.
Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy include:
• Silent, non-mechanical treatment
• Portable and travel-friendly
• No hoses, straps, or electricity
• High patient compliance and satisfaction
• Effective for snoring and mild-to-moderate apnea
A Personalized Treatment Journey at Brookwood Dentistry
At Brookwood Dentistry, sleep apnea treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation. This includes a review of symptoms, a physical exam of the airway and oral structures, and coordination with a sleep physician for a diagnostic sleep study if needed.
Once diagnosed, the process involves:
Custom fitting of the oral appliance using digital scanning for precision
Trial use and adjustment period to ensure comfort and effectiveness
Ongoing monitoring through regular check-ins and follow-ups
“Our patients appreciate that this is a convenient, personalized treatment that fits into their lifestyle,”
Real Relief. Real Stories.
Patients treated at Brookwood Dentistry have reported significant improvements in their sleep quality, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.
“I had tried CPAP and couldn’t make it work,” says one patient. “Brookwood Dentistry gave me an oral device that’s simple, comfortable, and effective. I wake up rested—and my spouse is thrilled the snoring is gone!”
Such stories highlight the life-changing impact of dental sleep medicine and the growing recognition of dentists as essential partners in treating sleep disorders.
